Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Demonstrate advanced knowledge of BIM-based structural, mechanical and electrical engineering requirements, building and construction standards, codes and practices;
2. Analyse and model engineering systems of building elements and compile building information ready for planning, design and construction;
3. Develop building engineering data in BIM applications and integrate into a common data environment; and
4. Create and evaluate the application and practices of BIM-based digital engineering models to design and construction case studies.

Artificial intelligence
Students are not permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in assessments for this unit.
GenAI may only be used in authorised ways when completing assessments at UC. This means that GenAI can only be used for an assessment when:
- the Unit Convener has authorised GenAI use for that assessment
- the student uses GenAI in the way that the assessment instructions allow
- the student fully acknowledges their use of GenAI, with proper citations, references and a GenAI Acknowledgement Statement in line with the assessment instructions.
Where the assessment instructions do not specifically state that GenAI may be used and how, then its use is not permitted for that assessment. Students must still provide the required GenAI Acknowledgement Statement to indicate whether GenAI has or has not been used in the preparation of the assessment. If unsure, students should seek advice from the Unit Convener.
The GenAI for StudentsLinks to an external site. Library Guide provides further information, including how to reference GenAI.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
Although the lectures are recorded and all of the contents will be available on the Canvas site of the unit, it is strongly advised that students attend all of the classes. It may be difficult to pass the unit without complete attndance and engagement.
Required IT skills
Knowledge of and skills of MS Office, MS Excel, BIM and internet browsing.
